Not sure what to say?

Phil was an exceptional person. He calmed me when I came for financial advice after my father's passing. Phil showed me a way forward with my mother and her finances. He understood what was needed to provide her an orderly life.
Phil made a big difference in my life.

Phil Swan was a wonderful mentor and friend. He taught me so much about life, about people and the power of optimism. I miss him. Godspeed Phil.

Philip Swan was my boss, my mentor and my friend. He had an infectious enthusiasm and boundless energy that inspired everyone around him. He was truly one of a kind, and his loss will be deeply felt by all who knew him. I first met Phil in 1989 when I interviewed for a junior position in his small, eponymous investment advisory company.

I enjoyed Phil so much. We worked together on initiating a Planned Giving Program at the Pasadena Community Foundation. He was a lovely man.
